It's Official! Madonna Wins Appeal For Adoption!

Filed under: Madonna > Baby Blabber

It's true! A new addition is making its way to join Madonna's herd of youngsters.

It was announced this morning that Madonna won her adoption appeal in Malawi and can now begin preparations to bring home 3 year-old Mercy James. Madge's attorney told the press that his client had been "awake all night long" waiting to hear the verdict and when the moment finally arrived, Madge was "ecstatic."

It will take anywhere from 3-5 days to go through the necessary paperwork and schedule the private jet, but now that it is a done deal, all Madge has to do is sit back and wait for them to bring home her new little one.

Congrats to the lucky mom and the lucky, lucky kid!

UPDATE: Madonna has just released a statement via her rep. Her Madgesty says, "I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court's ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James. I am ecstatic … My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her."

      This coming from the same person who just came from a Mariah Carey thread trashing her. Well, I'm glad she's doing just as well in her life, that all you can do is talk smack. By the way, if you're going to criticize someone's grammar, at least show some maturity your responses. "Haters?" "Low-life bitch?" What are you in–junior high?

      Re: jesyrene – Actually, everyone cares. This story has over 2,000 related news articles. That's well above the next most talked about story…Carrie Prejean. Sorry to break it to you but Madonna is the Queen of All Media. The world still cares about this not-washed-up-at-all ICON.

      Re: DanielDax – Daniel Dax…boy do I love how you critique everyone's comments as if your Perez Hilton's moderator. You my friend really need to get a life. Perez does not pay you to fact check everyone. And give me the picture and proof of one over 50 year old who can do what Madonna can…bet you can't!!!! If I had a million dollars I would give it to you once you found this person. Madonna may have plastic surgery to preserve her looks (as anyone w/ money would). But her body and her drive are of her one energy and hard work. She can't dance up there w/ people half her age without a serious hard work ethic. She would probably take one look then turn away. Envy is a bitch. deal w/ it. :) Have a wonderful day Madonna haters! The bitch got the final laugh once again HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

      I need a celebrity to adopt my ass too!

      Re: steelers – Her bikini line looks FINE to me. Seriously, her body is rockin. Better than mine and surly better than yours.

      You're telling me to get a life, yet you follow my comments around and know who and who i'm not critiquing. Thank you, but I know where my paycheck comes from. Madonna isn't paying you to kiss her ass, either; she wouldn't acknowledge your existence if you were licking her boots for her. I'm sure there are thousands of 50 year olds who can do what she can do. You aren't worth shit to offer me any kind of money, nor would you be worth my time to prove it to you. I'm sure if I really cared, my method of proving it to you would be more scientific than your lame generalization that there are no 50 year olds that can do what she can. Envious? Please.

      " Actually, everyone cares."
      Yeah, I'm sure all of the world cares. I'll bring up this story to the people standing behind me in the supermarket checkout, to my co-workers, or to the people stuck with me in traffic. I bet that conversation will go real far; she's just the talk of the town.

      You want proof? Tina Turner was rocking the stage at 45 and 50 when Madonna was still prancing around on stage in her 20s with her baby fat still in place. And at nearly 70, she's even more electrifying on stage than Madonna is at 50. And take a look at Joan Jett. She's the same age as Madonna, and she's still rocking it like she's back in the late 70s/early 80s. And she has a bangin' body as well. And yeah, unlike Madonna, she actually knows how to play a guitar for more than two chords.

      Re: Madonna-Mega-Fan – SLUT is an approipiate word, I just didn't mention it because for most people that is a given when it comes to HAGDONNA, so I rephrase she's a "SLUT" dressing and acting like a 20 year old!!!



    11. 211

      Re: Moluver – it's not that I can't formulate a sentence, the problem is that your uneducated trash ass is unable to understand it! stupid slut!



    12. 212

      Re: *stars101*sez_ShalaneMccall4EVA – Lady Gaga owns the charts, this tired old slut had to go to a nearly talented ex Mouseketeer to get a hit!!! but then she fucks boys young enough to be her son / grandson so what did you expect!



    13. 213

      This whole thing is so wrong… that girl has a family who loves her and waits to raise her, but poverty makes that difficult for them. If Madonna was really concerned about Mercy and what is best for her, she would be helping to support the family (and I don't mean just hand them money!) in providing her with a life, not taking her away from them. There are no congratulations in order here.



    14. 214

      Re: former M fan – The point is that there aren't people in line to adopt these kids poor or rich. they will live or die In those orphanages and yet you mock Madonna for even daring to want to adopt her just because she has money and is influential? so what, Mercy is better off.



    15. 215

      Re: jamesu – Yes I am a fan but the arguments here are not objective or based on facts, they are just based on not liking Madonna which is irrelevant

      Re: *stars101*sez_ShalaneMccall4EVA – i love this woman and so do millions of people all around the world from Argentina to Siberia. She will be here forever, if not in body in history. She is THE MOST ICONIC WOMAN LIVING TODAY. say what you want about Lady Gaga (who I think is a very talented woman), but she will never, and I repeat, nNEVER, have the legacy Madonna has. You sound like a little brat who thinks they are so cute "Lady Gaga's new song is SOARING. Yeah?? So are the Black eyes peas songs. God just because Lady Gaga had three hits doesn't mean anything. I'll start to feel worried about Madonna's crown once Lady Gaga has been around longer than 5 years. Right now she's only been around for one year. And nobody is pimping her as THE QUEEN except you. Get over yourself. Your opinion is so one sided and unrealistic. She is THE QUEEN and it pisses your off.. Long live the Boy toy-immaculate-creamy smooth pop icon goddess-material mom. Your just jealous and no need to deny it. All these chicks have nothing on Lady Madonna. And you said her tour was tanking? Really? Even after Finland, Bulgaria, Russia and Tel Aviv sold out?? I'm so over your blinded hate I will never comment to you again…only to piss you off. :)



    17. 217

      madonna is doing a great thing, i love you my queen! And for all u haters, um she is 50 ( pushing 51) and anyone who says she looks short of fabulous is either blind or stupid. Plus she can dance better than most people half her age.



    18. 218

      o, and for people who are compairing gaga to madonna, um there is no comparison between that bitch and the queen of pop, in fact, no one is comparible to madonna, she is a legend. the princess of pop is britney. I give gaga credit, but she is no madonna, and she has alot of work if she is going to try to be. Madonna is still rockin and just launched the most successful world tour of all time, um she still has it.



    19. 219

      Madonna's part in adopting Mercy may be commendable, but just like any other average cynic, I sometimes question Madonna's sincerity, and it's not because I'm "hatin" on her. Sure it's easy for Madonna to help an impoverished nation when she has the disposable income to do so, but I have really not seen much action on her part, other than making documentaries and PSAs, and donating money. She always looks great when she's visiting Malawi with her designer clothes and every hair in place–a sharp contrast to the living conditions there–but I'd probably be much more proud of her when I actually see her getting down in the soil of Africa and getting her hands dirty. A lot of people who don't have the money to write a check for a good cause actually volunteer their time and hard work to help countries like this, exposing themselves to the risks of disease and other hardships–Madonna brings a personal trainer and bottled water whenever she goes. Yeah, Mercy will have a better life than Madonna–hell, she's going to have a better life than most American kids will have–but what about the long term effects this will have on Mercy in the future? It should be interesting how she turns out in 15 years.



    20. 220

      She looks so pretty!



    21. 221

      made still looks good for age!

      Re: GIO – Gio, well said on every point. There is no intelligent argument to your post that would make any sense. Well done.

      Re: bigj1415
      Correction: Madonna did not have the most successful tour of all time…only that of a solo artist. Of course she could dance better than people half her age. If you're a trained dancer, and keep true to your craft, it should be no problem. People say Mikhail Baryshnikov dances better than people half his age. But you're talking about Madonna. Do you really think she'd hire dancers for her tour that would dare to upstage her?



    24. 224

      Just what this crazy bitch needs is another child 2 raise!? God help those children!!



    25. 225

      she is ugly… ;/



    26. 226

      YAY I am so happy for Madonna and Mercy. They both deserve each other and Madonna is a great loving mother who will provide Mercy with nothing but love and all the best!

      1.- IN JUDGE JUDY's WORDS: Beauty Fades, Dumb is forever! TAKE THAT HOWEVER YOU LIKE!!!
      2.- Yes, Angelina is Pretty, but for how long? So is Megan Fox
      3.- We all know Madonna is #1 Whether you like it or not. No matter how many records she breaks. She is never good enough to some IDIOTS LIKE YOU.
      4.- I read the book and he DOES NOT MENTION anything you claim about Madonna.
      5.- We all know Madonna and there's nothing they can say about her that can damage her image anymore, such as kissing a black christ, sucking a bottle, making out with women, the sex book, the adoption, that she can't act, that she can't sing, body of evidence……. ein sof! Madonna can't be destroyed by IGNORANT IDIOTS LIKE YOU! We all know that. Get Over It!
      6.- When Marylin Monroe was alive almost nobody liked her, they hated her and blamed her for the death of Clark Gable. Now that she is dead, they all say what a beautiful woman she was, how wonderful she was, how much she suffered, she is the ultimate sex symbol. When Madonna is no longer with us, you all can kiss her ass.
      7.- I asked this once, and I ask it again: Why are you so jealous of Madonna?



    29. 229

      Re: YoungTaurus – Of Course Tina is been doing it for a while longer, but Madonna is Madonna. How many albums has Tina sold and for how long has she been in the business? How many concert sell out can she have, in how many countries?
      Don't get me started, cause I'll step all over you like a "caca'roach!" Yes, I meant to write it that way.

      Re: Madonna-Mega-Fan
      1) I'll take it as an attempt on your part to be witty that obviously failed
      2) Angelina will be as beautiful as long as she wants to be. Madonna's looks faded a long time ago.
      3) Yeah, you're right. She'll never even good to me; thanks for recognizing that. Us IDIOTS apparently have good taste.
      4) I barely mentioned the book and I didn't tie much of what I said to what he wrote. I guess the bad English you learned from listening to Madonna's songs fucked up your sense of reading comprehension as well.
      5) I was unaware I was on a quest to destroy her. Only an insecure idiot himself would think that. How old are you anyway? 12?
      6) Kind of an irrelevant point and doesn't tie in to anything I wrote, but I guess if it made you feel good writing it as an attempt to "read" me, more power to you.
      7) You asked me once before? Honey, this is the first time you even responded to me.

      "Don't get me started, cause I'll step all over you like a "caca'roach!" Yes, I meant to write it that way."
      Yeah, and it wasn't as cute as you thought it was. So ghetto
      Don't pull the how many albums Madonna sold card on me, because I'll preface this argument and let you know I really don't give a crap how many she sold. The only people who actually care about that are Madonna and her minions–you guys wave those numbers around like a sword. I don't base my music taste on how many albums a particular artist sells, and most of the artists I listen to never even had so much of a top 40 single, let alone sold a a ton of albums, and I'm fine with that. I was merely answering the person's question about who can do what Madonna can at 50, but you, being the typical Madonna fan, have to turn everything about her and other female artists into a competition. To answer your question, Tina sold out her last tour as recently as '08, a pretty good feat at her age, seeing that she's nearly 70 and hasn't had a hit in years. She's also sold 200 million albums to date, and has sold more concert tickets than any other solo artist. I'm not even a fan, and I was able to find that out, and if you were as intelligent as you seem to think you are, you could have looked that up yourself instead of asking me about it. I guess listening to Madonna's music too much killed most of your brain cells.

      She's so gorgeous!
